ImPulzTanz Workshop (Dance Classes)
Dance Classes
My third week at the ImPulsTanz festival - and I was depressed. For reasons that I cannot currently comprehend, I had chosen to do just classes this week, rather than another coaching project or a pro-series. This was a bad choice. A really bad choice. You can always do classes, you know, they are everywhere. You walk down the street and there's a class, you walk down another one and there's one more. Here at ImPulsTanz there are so many opportunities, how often do you get the chance to work with so many choreographers again? And here I was, learning somebody's steps, one by one. Also, my mind and body had so far been challenged almost 50/50, and now suddenly it was only going to be about the body. Yuck! I need more than that. A little advice for all you future ImPulsTanz'ers: book a good mix of projects and classes - unless you prefer kicking those legs in the air while giving yourself a good look in the mirror.
One good thing happened though; I learned some of Glacial Decoy, Trisha Brown repertoire, in the weekend intensive. If you got to learn some steps, why not learn something iconic?
